About this map

Lake Cushman and the Hood Canal shoreline dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a region shaped by hydroelectric development and recreational access. The map details the significant engineering at Cushman Dam and Lower Cushman Dam, which transformed the flow of the North Fork Skokomish River and created the smaller Lake Kokanee downstream. These waterworks sit alongside the rugged ascent of Saddle Mountain and Dow Mountain, where the boundaries of the Olympic National Forest meet local state parks.

Local settlement patterns are centered on the coastal community of Hoodsport and the nearby Potlatch, where highway travel and waterfront infrastructure like docks and substations are clearly marked. In the backcountry, the Hoodsport State Park Trail and the Deer Meadow Gaging Station suggest a landscape used for both timber management and environmental monitoring during this era of Washington's history.
